its pretty good, dont like it as much after a few listens as dummy but its still p good

actual peak

hear my voice move my hair i move it around a lot but i dont care this and remain in light are very easily 2 of my favorite albums ever, i never really get old of them and will happily put them on whenever.

overall the beats and production are good. the group isn't really a contender to either de la soul or a tribe called quest based on this album, but its a nice listen overall, albeit with some forgettable tracks. if you only knew: good conscious bars but trying to point out that the group isn't corny Really makes them seem corny. remember his name: 2nd fav beat, has great flows and lengthy verses. def a highlight for me. thin line: beat is really good, the nelly furtado feature is great. maybe my favorite track? sum of us: some of the bars on this really date the song immediately. one of them: best beat on the album imo, the frame one homophobia is certainly a choice though. while bars like that are a product of the time, it still detracts from what otherwise is a good track that has a lot to say about posers in the industry. its an interesting contrast to the rest of the album which is generally pretty uplifting and positive.

it's steely dan!!! wow!!! i'd say this is probably my least favorite album from them but that still means its really good given how great the rest of their discography is. i'll probably elaborate more on this if/when we ever get to Aja but it's really hard to argue against donald fagen and walter becker's pursuit of perfection being a bad thing for those later albums. can't really decide between 3/4 stars here so i'll just go on the upper end since i feel like i lean towards there anyways.
